La Raza in Spanish means “the Race.”

Murguía spoke on the power of the Hispanic population, stating, “Our influence is growing.”

As Hispanics, she said, “We’re engaged and watching this debate closely.”

Murguia called current enforcement levels “intolerable.”

“The Latino community will not look favorably upon legislation that does not include a path to citizenship,” she said.

She challenged the notion that proposals that would given illegal aliens a path to citizenship amount to amnesty.

“This is not amnesty … amnesty is a pardon … this is earned citizenship,” she said.

Last year, in an interview on Al Sharpton’s radio show, Murguía called for a black-Latino alliance against Caucasians to “attack those common enemies.”
